Washing machine, dishwasher, or the like.

The invention relates to a washing machine, dishwasher or the like with a filter device having a filter element through which the draining liquid flows in the drain pipe equipped with a pump.

In the known washing machines and dishwashers, a pump is normally used for sucking off the washing water is housed in the rear of the machine. When using such a pump it is necessary to a filter device in the water outlet between the inner vessel, which, for example, holds the washing drum and the pump to remove the impurities in the washing water to prevent blockages and damage to the pump

to prevent.

In the known machines of this type, the filter device with the filter elements is normally from below accessible. This means that cleaning of the filter element is inconvenient because it is done less frequently will. The result is that, in the long run, the drainage line for the water will become clogged. When doing this required The cleaning of the filter element then usually comes out of the water in the drain line, which is understandably very uncomfortable for the user of the machine.

The aim of the invention is to provide a remedy here and to design a machine of the type mentioned in such a way that a Cleaning the filter is possible without major difficulties.

To solve this problem, it is proposed according to the invention that the machine has an approximately vertical part from the lower part the machine up to and from a filling opening from accessible pipe section, which serves to accommodate the filter element.

With such a design of the washing machine, the filter can easily and without the risk of leakage in the drainage system accumulated liquid "for cleaning

be taken out. The inventive The arrangement is easy to assemble and also offers the advantage that the between the machine housing and the inner container or drum existing space can be better used ', while at the same time a cost reduction is still possible.

Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of a preferred one Embodiment based on the drawing and from the subclaims.

In the drawing show:

Figure 1 schematically shows a section through an according to the invention trained drum washing machine and

FIG. 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, that for the invention relevant individual parts of the machine

In the housing 1 of the washing machine, an inner vessel 2 that receives the drum 4 rotating about a transverse axis is accommodated. In the lower part of the housing 1, a pump 5 is housed for sucking the washing water, which is connected to an outlet conduit. 6 The interior of the drum 4 is accessible via a door 7 arranged in the front part of the housing 1 and provided with a sleeve 8 .

109849 / 1-33 / »

In the housing 1 is also one of the lower part of the housing 1 up to the cuff 8 reaching pipe section 11 is arranged. The pipe section 11 is connected to the cuff 8 via an extension 10 connected. It has a lateral inlet opening 19 and a drain opening 20 connected to the pump 5 via the line 17.

The inlet opening 19 is with the wall or the cover 3 of the Inner vessel 2 is connected via an elastic line 21 and a disk 18. For this purpose, in the lid 3 is a Opening 16 is provided, to which the line 21 connects.

The cuff 8 has a fold 9 and a widening 13 for fastening the edge 12 of the vessel 2, 3. Besides that an end piece 14 is provided which supports the drum rim 15 covers and prevents the laundry from being damaged during the washing process.

Inside the pipe section 11 is the actual filter element 22 , which is connected to a hooking device 24 i. t of a circuit board 23 is connected. The circuit board 23 has an actuator 25 at its upper end.

Access to the filter element 22 via the door 7 of the machine is facilitated by the fact that in the lower part of the sleeve 8 an opening 26 is provided. During normal operation of the machine, this opening 26 is below the highest water level in the inner vessel 2, so that the pipe section 11 is

109849 / 133Λ

machine is full of water.

After completion of the washing process, the pump 5 sucks the waste water from the vessel 2 via the line 17 and the line 6, the water reaching the filter element before it reaches the pump 5 22 flows through.

To clean the filter element 22, the machine is disconnected. switched, the door 7 opened and the fold 9 removed, whereupon the filter element 22 can be removed through the opening 26.

Of course, it is possible to arrange the pipe section with the filter element to adapt to different needs to change. In addition, the training according to the invention not only in the front-accessible drum washing machines described above, but also in others Washing machines, dishwashers or similar machines can be used.
